OMEGA 3

Omega 3 should be stored in a cool place as they are fragile fats that can easily oxidize. The cold protects their quality and thus helps retain all their properties that are beneficial for your health. Conversely, heat, light, and oxygen increase the oxidation of omega 3.

• EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart (from 250 mg a day, less than one capsule).
• EPA and DHA contribute to the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels (2 g a day, 3 capsules; do not exceed 5 g a day as a supplement).
• DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision (from 250 mg a day, one capsule).
• DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function (from 250 mg a day, one capsule).

EPA and DHA ARE ESSENTIAL Many think that it is enough to take "omega 3" to enjoy all their benefits. But what really matters is not just the word "omega-3" on a label, but their EPA and DHA content. The "cheap" products found in supermarkets or on some sites often display an attractive price. But looking more closely, their EPA/DHA content is very low. At DIX, in addition to having excellent oil quality, we also have a high EPA and DHA content.

• High content of EPA and DHA
• Cold storage
• Regular orders in small quantities to ensure fresh oil
• Sustainable fishing certified Friend of the Sea
• Triglyceride form
• Opaque pill container with UV protection
• EPAX oil made in Norway, packaged in France
• The X.O process is an antioxidant stabilization method applied to our EPAX oil by our French supplier. It enriches the oil with natural antioxidants, which strengthen its resistance to oxidation and help keep its oxidation index (TOTOX) very low.

WHAT IS TOTOX? TOTOX is the key indicator to judge the total oxidation of omega 3s A good TOTOX corresponds to fresh, stable, and beneficial oil for health. In short, the lower the TOTOX, the better! FRIEND OF THE SEA FOS certification requirements have been recognized as among the most successful by several international benchmark studies. They contribute to the health of the oceans by certifying and promoting sustainable fishing practices, the conservation of aquatic habitats, the health of our planet, and the quality of life of workers, thus playing a fundamental role in the global movement for sustainable development.

At DIX, we only select omega-3 extracted from small wild fish such as sardines, mackerel, and anchovies. And it's not by chance.

These species have a major advantage: they are at the bottom of the food chain.
They live for a short time and feed mainly on plankton, which greatly limits the accumulation of heavy metals (like mercury) and pollutants (like PCBs).
The result? A naturally purer oil, which requires less chemical treatment to be consumed safely.

Finally, their fishing, when well-managed, is more respectful of marine resources. We are committed to sourcing only oils from sustainable and certified areas, to preserve the ocean as much as your health.

EPAX® is one of the most renowned Norwegian producers of concentrated omega 3, with a history going back to 1838. Its own standard requires a TOTOX of 10 or less when the oil leaves the plant, stricter than the industry's (26), and the company has funded many scientific studies.

The X.O process is an antioxidant stabilization method applied to our EPAX oil by our French supplier. It enriches the oil with natural antioxidants, which strengthen its resistance to oxidation and help keep its oxidation index (TOTOX) very low.

The ratio between EPA and DHA can play an important role depending on the benefits you are looking for.

EPA is particularly recognized for its effects on:

• Regulation of inflammation
• Normal heart function and the maintenance of normal blood triglyceride levels

DHA, on the other hand, is essential for:

• Normal brain function
• The maintenance of normal vision

This is why a balanced ratio between EPA and DHA is often the most judicious choice if you wish to enjoy all the benefits of omega-3s.
